Variety shows stars met on, curiously (10)
I believe the answer is:
assortment
'variety' is the definition.
('assortment' can be a synonym of 'variety')
'stars met on curiously' is the wordplay.
'curiously' indicates an anagram.
'stars'+'met'+'on'='starsmeton'
'starsmeton' with letters rearranged gives 'ASSORTMENT'.
'shows' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for assortment that I've seen before include "Medley" , "Variety" , "Miscellany" , "Miscellaneous collection" , "Mixture" .)
